You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 114

“No! No! No!”

“Dad, please don’t leave me!”

“Dad, don’t leave us!”

“Dad, wake up!”

“Please wake up!”

Arabella’s swollen eyes were filled with mist. Her strength was nowhere to be found. Her instinct was telling her not to let go of her father’s hand whatever happened. Lacking strength, she was still holding him with all her might but his hand slowly drifted away. Her grip glided bit by bit down to her father’s fingertips.

“No, dad! Hold on to me!”

“You can’t let go!”

“Please!”

Arabella tightened her grip though she didn’t know how much pressure she had put on it. She couldn’t just let go of his father otherwise he would fall to the bottomless water.

Her nightmare brought her back 6 years ago. This was the reason why she always trembled in fright whenever she heard his name.

Inside NZ nightclub, she was already half dead. Her body was cold and her face was plainly white like her blood had stopped circulating. If there’s consciousness in her, it was like a pebble in the shore taken by barrel waves and finally swallowed by the vast ocean.

Before her consciousness was finally taken away, her foggy vision mirrored the legs of people running and there’s noise but it softened to her ears.

The next morning, Arabella woke up in the hospital with her head spinning.

In her dizziness, she touched her belly immediately.

'My baby!'

She breathed a sigh of relief when she could still feel her baby inside and there’s no pain in her inner belly only her back and thigh were aching so bad but some parts of her body were numb. She felt like her bones were broken and she was floating in the air. Her strength was still nowhere to be found.

Even in her dying moment, she was thinking about her baby.

She was determined to live for her baby.

Her baby deserves to live and to live happily.

She couldn't die easily. She still didn’t even see his smile.

There was a little hope in her heart that it’s Bill who brought her to the hospital as she didn’t know other people among the crowd only him and Trishia.

Thinking of Trishia, Arabella automatically crushed her out on the list. Obviously, she didn't want to give up her hopes with him even after what happened that night.

She wanted to hold on to that memory when they were in the ski resort. She was sure she had seen a different glow in Bill's eyes and his smile was genuine.

He was not a bad person.

Maybe Bill had listened to her and rescued her and his son that night.

Maybe he believed in her and had acknowledged his son.

Maybe Bill wanted them to live.

Maybe he realized that she’s not the one to blame for his father’s death.

Maybe he wanted to start a new life with her and his son.

Her little hope flickered like a dying bulb that suddenly sparked thinking of all her maybes.

Just when her phone chimed on her bedside table. That was the only time, she noticed her phone and purse were there. It seemed the person who brought her there was nice enough to bring her belongings with her.

Her heart was hoping, it’s Bill.

Though he let her suffered that night terribly, she was still grateful for him that he gave her and her baby another life.

Another chance to live.

Feeling like her body was still floating in the air, she weakly reached out for her phone.

With a shaky hand, she looked at the screen quickly to see the name of the person in her mind.

She suddenly smiled. Her eyes were filled with warm tears assembled in her eyelids.

She was not mistaken.

It’s him.

It’s Bill.

It’s time for her to express her heartfelt gratitude. She would let him know that she already forgive him.

She already had in mind, what message to type for him. The words that her heart had been wanting to tell him. Her utmost desire and love for him that was left unspoken. It’s time for her to let it out and she did not doubt at the moment that’s it’s really worth a try.

She was excited to read his message. Cutting shortly her excitement, she tapped his name to read the content.

In just a blink of an eye, her single glint of hope instantly vanished.

The tiny soft sparkle had died of a sudden.

She quickly got up like a crazy woman losing her senses. Arabella pulled out the needles on her wrist and walked out wearing the hospital gown with her cellphone and purse. Then she hailed a cab after she had managed to get away from the hospital. As she gave the direction, the driver was a bit hesitant to drive her to the destination.

Judging from her look, he knew the girl was not in her proper mind but when she showed him money, he immediately started to drive his car.

Arabella couldn’t blame the driver as she knew her look was really a mess and her mind too. Inside the car, the horrifying text message flashed across her mind.

‘Dearest Wife,

If you want to see your father and mother alive for the last time, go to the hillside. They are waiting for you. I saved you because I don’t want you to die that easy. I want you to suffer for the longest time before I buried you alive. You should know by now that calling for help would worsen everything.

Good luck and all the best!

Your loving husband,

Bill’

Her parents were in big trouble.

He warned her to leave but she stayed.

Now, this is his punishment to her.

This is his revenge.

How evil!

How could she believe a devil can be turned into an angel?
